NEIL Clement could miss Albion's final two games of the season with a knee injury.

The defender needs a minor operation but the surgery may be delayed if the club are still in with a chance of Premiership survival following tomorrow's fixtures.

The Baggies know they will be relegated if Portsmouth take a point at Wigan or if Blues beat Newcastle and Nigel Pearson today revealed this would determine whether Clement would be risked against West Ham on Monday.

"Clem needs an operation and we will judge it based on how he is himself and what the situation is after Saturday," said the Albion assistant boss. "A bit of commonsense will prevail, we will have to see how he is over the next couple of days. We will also see what the results are tomorrow.

"His knee needs a clean-out. It isn't a major thing. It should only take between two to three weeks maximum to clear up."

Nigel Quashie has been declared fit for Albion's final home game of the season on Monday. The ex-Southampton man took a knock to his ankle in last weekend's defeat at Newcastle but the injury has cleared up.

The Baggies will also have Ronnie Wallwork available following his two-game ban.
